Black Butterfly - Paperback

by Claudia Jones (Author)

A month in a remote cabin. A chance to reclaim her art. A past that refuses to stay buried.

Emily Black is a painter out of time and out of luck. Struggling with artist's block and mounting bills, she accepts a lifeline: a month-long residency in a secluded cabin to prepare for the career-defining Metamorphous exhibition. But the silence of the woods is far from peaceful.

The longer Emily stays, the more the cabin transforms. Hours vanish in a blur of feverish brushstrokes, and her paintings twist into grotesque styles she doesn't recognize. The locals offer only cryptic warnings, and soon, a silent figure from Emily's past begins pacing the floorboards.

Thirteen years ago, Emily walked away from her marriage and her young daughter. Now, the line between inspiration and madness is thinning, and the cabin is demanding a debt that can only be paid in blood. To escape the "Metamorphous," she must finally face the truth of the night she fled-or become a permanent part of the gallery.

BLACK BUTTERFLY is a haunting, genre-bending psychological thriller perfect for fans of atmospheric suspense and stories of the terrifying cost of creation.
